More Information about the Teres Minor Muscle

Derived from the Latin word 'teres' meaning rounded, the
teres minor
muscle is a narrow, elongated muscle and is one of the four muscles that make up
the rotator cuff along with the supraspinatus, subscapularis and infraspinatus.
The teres minor muscle works closely with the infraspinatus. The teres
minor also plays a role as a protective reflex to enhance proprioception during
functional movements.
